Sampson teases 'Waterloo Road' arrival

Waterloo Road newcomer George Sampson has admitted that his character Kyle Stack causes trouble from the moment he joins the school.

The Britain's Got Talent winner makes his first appearance in the BBC drama later this week as his alter ego Kyle is introduced as a new pupil.

Speaking to Inside Soap, Sampson explained: "Kyle is a streetwise, short-tempered idiot. He's been expelled from all his other schools and he's really not bothered about sticking around at Waterloo Road either."

Kyle's wayward behaviour becomes apparent on his first day as he ends up clashing with fellow student Finn Sharkey (Jack McMullen).

Sampson continued: "Finn's trying to get one up on Kyle by using clever words, so Kyle tries to punch him. They're a good match because they totally wind each other up. Kyle has no interest in making friends at school because he's too proud, so he just keeps fighting back."

Discussing the brighter side of life at Waterloo Road, the actor concluded: "Kyle enjoys being naughty and he really likes being round all the girls! I don't reckon his behaviour is going to improve any time soon, though - it's more likely to get worse if anything."

Waterloo Road returns on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.
